How to plan a strawberry baby shower
Start by selecting a berry-inspired color palette such as pink, red, and white.
You can use these colors in balloons, streamers, tablecloths, and other decorations around your venue.
For a special touch, consider setting up a strawberry bar where guests can fill cups with their favorite berries and top them off with some whipped cream or ice cream.
You can also get creative with strawberry themed baby shower invitations that feature cute illustrations or photos of strawberries.
Finally, add some fun activities to your party such as strawberry themed baby shower games like Pin the Strawberry on the Baby or Guess How Many Strawberries are in a Jar!
With all these great ideas, you’ll be sure to create an unforgettable event that everyone will love!
Decorations
Decorations are a key part of any baby shower, and choosing the right ones can make all the difference in creating the perfect atmosphere.
For a strawberry-themed baby shower, the decorations should be berry-inspired to match the theme.
Think about setting up a strawberry table runner or hanging up garlands of red and green balloons for that extra pop of color.
You can also incorporate strawberry-printed banners or signs around your home to add a fun element to your decor.
Balloon Arch
If you ask me any good party needs a beautiful balloon arch.
For the strawberry theme it should stay in the color scheme you picked out at the beginning (red, white, pink and maybe some green)
You can have a professional party planner do the job or order a diy balloon arch kit to make your own strawberry balloon arch.
Balloons and streamers are essential for any baby shower, but they can be hard to choose.
For a strawberry baby shower, why not go with balloons and streamers in red, green, and white?
These colors will perfectly match your chosen color scheme and create a vibrant atmosphere that your guests will love!
For the balloons, you can opt for solid colors or get creative with patterned ones.
If you want something special, try using strawberry-shaped balloons to really tie the theme together.
As for the streamers, you could use traditional crepe paper or opt for something more modern like mylar ribbon.
Both of these options come in all sorts of colors so it’s easy to find the perfect match for your strawberry themed baby shower!
Once you have your balloons and streamers ready to go, it’s time to hang them up!
Try filling up the room with colorful garlands or simply stringing some helium-filled balloons along the walls and ceilings.
Whatever you decide on, make sure that each decoration is securely attached as you don’t want them coming down during the party!
With these decorations in place, your strawberry themed baby shower is sure to be a hit!
Tablecloth
Of course, you can also opt for strawberry-patterned tablecloths but you should consider what colors your plates and cups are going to be and maybe rather go with one solid color to lay the base for the rest of your table decoration.
You can also add coordinating napkins and plates for an extra pop of color.
To complete your tablescape, consider adding some fresh strawberries as decoration or even incorporating some handmade paper flowers.
You can also get crafty and create a few of these cute painted strawberry rocks instead of confetti on the table.
Your dessert table can look its absolute best with this cute handmade no-sew felt bunting in strawberry style of course!
Centerpiece
For the centerpieces, think about incorporating some fun elements like stuffed animals or baby blocks.
Or you can keep it simple and make your own really cute strawberry toppers with balloons – easy and super affordable if you are on a budget!
And if you want something a bit more traditional, try using floral arrangements with plenty of strawberries included!
Whichever centerpiece you choose, make sure it’s bright and cheerful as this will be the focus of your table setting.
With these decorations in place, your guests won’t be able to resist taking pictures!
Plates, Cups, and Silverware
There are so many beautiful strawberry plates and cups available and if you choose paper plates you will have a easy clean up after your baby party.
For the cutlery, look for stainless steel in either silver or gold colors to complement the rest of your decor.
For glasses and cups, consider using plastic or paper instead of glass as this is much safer when little hands are around.
If you want to add an extra special touch, you could use some personalized baby-themed glasses or mugs with each guest’s name on them.
If you want anything personalized – checking out Etsy for strawberry baby shower items is the best place to find the cutest decoration for your special day!
Invitations, Favors, and Games
Invitations, Favors, and Games are all essential elements of a successful baby shower!
Start off by sending out your strawberry themed invitations.
Whether you choose to send paper invitations or e-vites, make sure they fit the theme with strawberries and baby-related designs.
You could also include red and white ribbons for an extra special touch.
For favors, you could get creative with strawberry-themed items like scented candles, candy boxes, or even custom cupcake toppers.
